My Vegan Carbonara Spaghetti

Before I became vegetarian, one of my favourite dishes (if not my very favourite!) were carbonara spaghetti. I have memories of Saturday’s lunches, when my mum was making me and my brother a large cooking pot of creamy spaghetti, which would very often be crowned by an egg yolk – ah, tradition!

I had never really managed to treat myself again to this ‘comfort’ dish again since I cut the meat off my diet and limited products of animal origin. But it’s knowing me very poorly to think that I could give up on the idea, so I wanted to push things even further and find a completely cruelty-free way to make this traditional Italian dish, and this was how this plate of vegan carbonara spaghetti came to life. With a little bit of imagination, and by letting the flavours of the vegetal cuisine inspire me, one can make miracles happen!
